maid-less ramblings on Nov 23, 2009Yesterday morning, I woke up to a very wonderful November morning. This is what I've been looking forward to: waking up with cold toes & nose and hearing birds chirping just outside the window. Now this is what a November morning is supposed to b...
insomnia on Nov 18, 2009My head is about to explode.I've been living a pretty much comfortable life. I was able to do what I wanted, that is, to quit my job and be a hands-on mother to my baby. I am very thankful for this wonderful experience, but at the end of each day, I...
